United failed to land Barcelona’s former Arsenal star nine months ago – but are aware Fabregas’ Nou Camp future is now in doubt.They also know it would take a fee of £45m and wages of £200k a week.

The door was left open for United to return for Fabregas in this summer’s transfer window.

But the final say will rest with United’s new manager, with Holland’s Louis van Gaal becoming frustrated that he still hasn’t been installed as David Moyes’ successor.

That situation is expected to be resolved this week, with Van Gaal having already identified midfield as a priority area to be strengthened.
